(Week 3, Monday)
10:10 N is starting the day off with P again. N passed
P the firewordsV.gif, and Pt/N’s video edit for
waterbody and waterscene3.mov.
We are waiting for others to arrive. N is a little nervous:
today is our last day with everyone, all day
(am-pm) in this space. (Other rehearsals
will be in the evenings, during school with various
people missing.) The only good news with the evening
rehearsals is that maybe Pt can come. Someone from the
Center wants the projector back tomorrow morning. Do
we still have Theatre Dell to use?

M, K, Mk, then B arrive.
(K motivates return ..N thought?)
Mk re-records lost bits of the sound for the water scene,
while B setting up for Fire. Everyone coping and
fixing.
B goes outside for a smoke, the dancers are ready and
do not know that they don’t need him as the tiles
are all set—that’s what I do---keep them communicating,
keep things moving forward. |

We are testing where the words will fall on the dancers.
N fixes word ‘speech’ again (it takes forever
to fix on bogged down laptop). |

A Happy Exchange: or how hard it can be to schedule/herd
cats:
N to M: “are you leaving?”
M: “I’m afraid so, I have to take my daughter/dog
to the vet. You don’t need me after Fire, right?’
N: “Well,it’s up to you what you want to
do about Air.”
M: “Oh yeah, right. How long is B going to be
here?”
N: “Why don’t you ask him?”
M: “B, how long are you going to be here?”
B: “1:30ish”
M: “Oh, right then” (see you tomorrow)
But the tricky thing is that B was not coming back
in tomorrow or much at all that week. Some had lost
their chance to work with tightly scheduled the reactive
media artist and would have to take whatever time was
available to rehearse. (That’s what happens when
you take an unscheduled leave during rehearsal. When
you make your own schedule you have to be willing to
loose time with valuable human resources and find ways
to rehearse on your own—which is what M ended
up doing later.) It was like herding cats.

K oks the Fire text animation. |
|
N tells E she can look at walls/screens in the theatre
and see what’s playing while she’s dancing.
(E starts to get bad back.) |

Water media: Waterbody needs to have
new dissolves, cross fades not wipes. K wanted the H2Obody
more complex…N very happy to redo it closer to the
original –more images but shorter time. N wants
to do own video editing for water not P or Pt.
N and K have a waterbody fill discussion finding the images
that play well, like intense colors. K and N like the
idea of putting the sparkle inside her at the end of the
piece. K (and N) misses the diversity of footage in waterbody
Ken comments to P “Her technical advisors told her
not to.” N is glad to bring back: bubbles, ice,
greenwater, water, fish, ocean, and fingers of anemones.
K wants fish etc to synchronize to the dancers moves or
vise versa. |
